Pray this Lazaroo in the holy fear of God:

“Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone! Even when their drinks are gone, they continue their prostitution; their rulers dearly love shameful ways. A whirlwind will sweep them away, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.”
(Hosea 4:17-19)

After repeated willful sin

there comes a point of no return, doesn’t there, Jesus?

when a person – even an entire nation –
are joined to their idols in unholy matrimony

till death and destruction come
and they perish together.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“…the whole house of Israel is hardened…”
(Ezekiel 3:7)

How does a person get that way, Jesus?

Is it their response to disappointment?
Is it the byproduct of repeated sin?

I’m guessing this hardening is accompanied by cynicism.

That’s a form of unbelief, isn’t it?
maybe with some stubbornness mixed in.

Regardless, a hardened heart can’t be a good thing.

I don’t ever want to get that way, Father!

Keep me soft, tender, pliable, responsive
in Your loving hands.

 Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal: 

“Jerusalem has become an unclean thing…”
(Lamentations 1:17)

That’s the last thing I want to happen, Jesus…

but because of my sin

it has –

too many times to count.

I beg You for Your help.

I’m sincere. I mean it to the bone.

Then, when tempted

too often I push Your help aside
and plunge into the cesspool

for another putrid dip.

What am I thinking, Father?

Obviously, I’m not.

Cleanse me! Purify me! Rescue me!

…once again.
